We invite you to browse through all the facilities that Beth Tikvah has to offer. Please feel free to contact the temple administrator for additional information or a personal tour.

Gift Shop

The Sisterhood of Beth Tikvah operates a volunteer-run Judaica Gift Shop that can been seen as you enter the lobby. Three showcases and a quaint shop offer a large variety of hand made Israeli and American designer Judaica to fill your home or give as a gift.

Hours of operation are generally during religious school hours and during the holiday season, but private appointments are always available. The gift shop offers a selection of items for viewing purposes on it’s website and can also special order specific items and ship to anywhere in the US.

• The gift shop co-chairs work as volunteers and always need additional help. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Tara Rozen

Library

The Beth Tikvah Library is located at the end of the Religious School hallway on the southeast wing of the building and is open when the building is open.

Borrowing

The Library uses a shelf checkout system. There are book due date cards in the back of every book with a place for your name and phone number. Typically, books should be returned within one month. Late fee and replacement fee for lost books are applied.

Donations

The Library always welcomes book donations and we ask that they be in good condition (no mold, ripped pages etc.) In order to maintain a current collection, books in the library are no more then ten years old.

Volunteering

Volunteers are welcome and needed.

Library Rental

In addition to providing books, our library is also available for private rental. From lectures, meetings, and seminars to social gatherings, our library can host a combination of setups.

For information please contact the temple administrator or download a copy of our rental information in the forms library.

Sanctuary

Our warm and inviting sanctuary is the center of Beth Tikvah’s focus. It's appeal is especially inviting for Shabbat services, High Holy Days, B’nei Mitzvah, or weddings. The sunken floor and surrounding brick wall comfort congregants during services and provides a feeling of intimacy for smaller gatherings, while allowing for larger events when necessary.

Permanent seating allows for 120, but can be expanded to accommodate approximately 550 guests for a large service or lecture style event. The bima provides the perfect setting for our beautiful chuppah which is made available to all members.

For information please contact the temple administrator at (614) 885-6286.

Social Hall

Beth Tikvah has two social hall spaces that can seat approximately 200 guests when combined. A closed private area or open spacious gathering area is available depending on the needs of the event. Both social hall spaces have adjustable walls and can be arranged to handle a variety of events.

Luncheons, dinners, cocktail parties, award banquets and more are all easily accommodated in either or both of our social hall spaces.
